Price - R80 currency converter
Shipping and handling included.

This book tells the story of Peter, Pamela and Percy and their experience during the 2000 Treasure Oil spill, during which time SANCCOB rehabilitated nearly 19 500 African penguins.

This delightful book suitable for three- to seven- year-olds, was put together by two Kommetjie mums, Linda Fellowes (aka Lulu) and Theresa Acker (aka Tee).

Cindy D - "I bought it for my 4 year old nephew and had to read it 3 times (in a row) last night. So it was a great success. His sister who is 18 months, listened and got involved, too!!."

The Magenta Penguin


Price
Available as a Book/soft toy set only.

This is a story about a penguin that is different, in fact a magenta penguin called Siffira10 and covers one year in her life. She is the only magenta African Penguin at Boulder’s Beach. Fortunately she meets a wonderful life partner, Percy, another black African Penguin. They have 2 offspring, Wiffels and Wiskey. This family survives many dangers, among them winter storms, marauding gulls and “a death sentence for penguins”, an oil spill!

The lesson in this story is one of hope, in other words, never give up!

This story will have many young children asking one question, “What will happen next to Siffira10, Percy, Wiffels and Wiskey?”

Tara, the author of the story, got her inspiration for The Magenta Penguin from various sources (she was 7 years old when she wrote this story) and this book is beautifully illustrated by the pupils in Mrs Clampett’s Grade 2 class of 2008 at St Cyprian´s Preparatory School, Cape Town.

The book is suitable for readers aged 5 through to 10.

All proceeds from the sale of this book will be allocated to 3 worthy causes, of which SANCCOB is one. So come on...by purchasing this book, you´ll not only give a wonderful gift but you´ll also be supporting us in the process.
